Development Management

The Council's Development Management service decides applications for planning permission, listed building consent, conservation area consent, advertisement consent and works to protected trees. It gives pre application advice on development proposals (by email). It can take action where development is carried out without or not in accordance with permission.

It provides public information on applications which have been submitted, explains how you can comment on applications and provides general information on development management matters.

Making a Planning Application

Planning applications can be submitted online at the Scottish Government's e-planning portal: www.eplanning.scot - paper copies of application forms can also be downloaded from that website.
